Sala VIP Costa del Sol is the Aena-operated lounge in Terminal 3. After the single T3 security checkpoint, walk through duty-free and take the lift or stairs behind Malaga Duty Free up to floor 2 near Gate D.

Priority Pass and LoungeKey currently publish 05:30–22:30. DragonPass publishes 05:00–23:00. Aena's lounge and booking pages list 24 hours for day-pass customers — use the hours your access programme actually publishes.

Food is a self-service catering spread with alcohol; Aena also flags gluten-free, kosher and halal options. The live Aena amenity list and Priority Pass facilities list do not include showers, so do not come here expecting one.

Capacity tightens on summer departure banks. A same-day boarding pass is required. Arrival visits only work if you remain airside (jet-bridge); bus-gate arrivals are taken to baggage claim and cannot walk back in.
